GeekGirlCon

This weekend I had the pleasure of going to GeekGirlCon in Seattle with my editor (and one of my best friends). We came, we saw, we geeked out. 

So, first and foremost:

Rhapsody bookmarks were in the swag bags! So awesome to be a part of it (even a small part). 

Even though I was on kind of a mission to A) introduce new readers to Rhapsody (which maybe was a fail… I am so bad at marketing, seriously) and B) decide if I might want to expo myself next year (verdict: a resounding yes from my editor, a resounding ‘maybe’ from me, which I’m sure she’ll take as ‘close enough’)- what really ended up happening was a lot of wandering, a couple panels, and tons of fun. If you’re in the Seattle area I highly recommend the con.

I didn’t get many pictures, which is unfortunate because there were so many amazing cosplayers, but I did end up buying more stuff than was probably necessary (except not. It was all totally necessary). Like this little cutie:

I plan to put her on my computer monitor at work.

And I got this button that made me almost die laughing— what a beautiful attitude to have, and an awesome homage to Dr Who:

And my favorite purchase of the con? Definitely this gorgeous sailor moon print:

by none other than B. Fuerst. Look at her tumblr you guys. No seriously, look at it.Such beautiful work, and she was really lovely in person. She even signed my print!

And then I misled her because I thought it was a Crystal week… ooops… in my defense, it’s been a really long week and it feels like it’s been two. But apologies to the group that was standing around while I was frantically talking about how much I wanted to see Sailor V. 

If you weren’t at the con this weekend (I was only around for Saturday, but it’s still going on today!), you can still take advantage of the deal inside the swag bags. Prelude is currently only 99 cents and Sonata is 1/2 price right now (1.49), making them both a steal. And I’ve been informed that they’re suitably geeky with some (subtle) references to different shows and some (not as subtle) references to mythology and legends.
